Agreed. It doesnt sound like his politics support Israel, and how one would assume he is Israeli from that I am not sure. He COULD be, of course, but
it certainly isnt apparent from his post.

I think he brings up some good points, that if you want to understand the feelings of one group of people towards another, you really have to look at
the whole picture. Not just parts that appeal to you. The history of the conflict in the middle east isnt as simple as some want to paint it.

Mind you, I am not taking a side. If you really look at the history of the thing it becomes even more difficult to take sides, not less. I think if
the conflict is ever to end, not only in the middle east, but anywhere there are long standing resentments, we need to examine the past and then put
it aside and make out decisions based on what would be best now.

Holding onto historical hurts or victimization can too easily lead a group, (any group) to the conclusion that they are somehow entitled to victimize
others. As I see it, this simply can never work. It creates a vicious circle much like the one we have seen play out not only in the middle east,
but anywhere humans are.

Nah... Just pointing that yet another (inept) thread extolling the evils of Israel, comes off as throwing more wood on the conflagration.

Interesting twist and if I may say, very manipulative. You are a poseur and thoroughly disingenuous. I know that those who are appalled by the
atrocities in Gaza are angry. Pro-Israelis putting their case are determined.

And now your side-show turns up fired by the vigour of aggressive contempt but you 'sit on the fence'. I have never seen anyone excited with the
emotion of ambivalence, so you are most likely masking your own agenda. Hmmm! I wonder what that could be?

If you were truly concerned about carnage, you would be angry about the slaughter of Palestinians and hostile towards the Israeli government and its
supporters. But you are not and zero in on ats'ers. Why the urge to silence debate with empty fluff? Because you are bankrupt of arguments and
indifferent to Palestinian plight perhaps even in favour of it. Keep your crocodile tears to yourself!

Here is how it starts from the moment you give your opinion on the situation. First they will call you a Zionist or an Israeli Apologist . This is how
they stereotype you by grouping your opinion with the lowest common denominator. Then they will compare Israel to everything Nazi related. Gaza =
concentration camp. Israel = Nazi Germany. Barak = Hitler. Brace for ad ad hominem attacks because here is where they usually come out. Next, they
move on to how you called them anti-Semitic. So, they are the victim in this whole situation. And the final step is to repeat the process from the
beginning.

Yup Israel the great big racist country. By the way how do the surrounding Arab countries treat people from other faiths or races, especially the
Jews?

In Israel, Arabs can and do hold political office.

After Israel surrendered Gaza and removed it's own citizens from the territory, how were they rewarded by the muslims from the surrounding area?
Were they accepted as brothers with open arms, or did rockets start raining down on their schoolyards?

The one sided nature of the pro-palestinian/islamic propaganda is amazing.

Almost as amazing as the Pro-Israel/judeo-christo propaganda.

I say let's move the children out, and drop a HUGE nuclear weapon on both Jerusalem and Gaza....

Grow up man your one sided approach makes you look childish and Immature.
Fanatic Muslims and people like you are the cause of this never ending circle of death…

I would suggest being less angry in your life, and if you actually do care about your Muslim brothers try finding way to resolve the situation and
understanding both sides. Posting your propaganda here are feeling good about yourself because some of your irrelevant friends post back and agree
with you will not make a difference in the real world.

its sad since your Muslim brothers will keep dieing in the hand of the mighty Israeli army because of people like you...
